Chicken Divan

This was a new recipe for Chicken Divan for me. We loved it!! I have made Chicken Divan for years, it's a great dish because it can be made in hurry but looks like you have been cooking all day.

Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 13X9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Place broccolini around edge of baking dish; set aside.

Sprinkle Chicken breasts evenly with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; add chicken, and cook for 3 to 4 minute per side, or until lightly browned.

Remove chicken from skillet, and place over broccolini, leaving as much butter in pan as possible.

Add flour to butter, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in broth, sherry, and cream; cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Spoon sauce over chicken. Sprinkle with cheese and almonds.

Cover, and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover, and bake for 5 minutes longer. Serve immediately.
